Recently upgraded to Windows 8.  Gotta say 'WOW."  Almost resembles my Mac.

It caused some setup changes on my blog.
Some visitors had problems viewing the blog.
Think I've solved the problem.

65% of the visitors to my blog use Internet Explorer.  

I'm not a fan of that software, but I use it now to monitor the layout of all my post.Occasionally posts look different in Explorer than Firefox or Chrome.

I've changed some settings on the blog.
